The jacket won by the champion of the Masters Tournament, one of the major championships in professional golf, is green. Known as the Green Jacket, it is a distinctive garment that is awarded to the winner of the tournament. The tradition of presenting a green jacket to the champion began in 1949, and it has since become an iconic symbol associated with the Masters. The champion gets to wear the Green Jacket for the year following their victory and then returns it to the Augusta National Golf Club, where it is kept and presented to subsequent winners.
